But I'm kinda surprised you didn't notice the car in the foreground of the picture... this being a Subaru forum, after all.

Oh, yeah. Thats pretty cool too.
I'd give my left two nuts to drive either, but the GT-R is more rare.
Less rare than a RHD 20K BE true B4 RSK (in the US), though.

The GT-R is not the rarest car in that picture...

... and I'm not talking about my car either.

Update:

I had to replace my tires for a couple reasons... first, I had this puncture on the edge of the sidewall (it actually happened about 3k miles after I got the tires; I was so pissed) that I plugged 3 times until it finally got to the point where it would lose all air pressure overnight...



... plus the car began pulling to the left even after I had an alignment done, and I've just gotten sick and tired of Dunlop tires. I wasn't too happy about the prospect of replacing four tires with 6/32nds tread left on them, but I got a set of Kumho Ecsta LE summer tires for a really good price, and Kumho is also currently offering a $50 mail-in rebate on a set of four tires.



However, that was not enough appeasement for the Subaru gods, who saw fit to cause my pumpkin cover to crack:



I started having seepage, so I put Teflon tape on the drain plug hoping that would fix it, and as I was tightening it, I heard it crack. The drain plug never felt like it was getting any tighter, so I think it was weakened, which I also think is really why it was seeping.

So I got a new one (thankfully, all R160 pumpkin covers are the same, so I could have even used one from a Datsun 510 if I wanted to), and had an absolutely wonderful time dropping the rear diff to replace it.



Fixed.

I've had good luck with Kumho tires. I'm surprised about the Dunlops, though. I've only heard good things about them. Which model was it?

I'm not a big Dunlap fan either....

Tell us how you really feel

They were Dunlop Direzza DZ101s. Now I've got friends who like the Z1 Star Specs for autocross and stuff like that, who don't care how completely unliveable they are as DD tires. But I don't race my car, so I'd rather sacrifice some grip in the interest of longevity and the ability to hear myself think.

I must be getting old.

But not so old that I can't engage in at least a little mischief...

Bandwagon officially boarded.

I still haven't boarded that bandwagon. I've technically owned four subarus if you include the donor & 06 wagon.

They don't make one of the badges to go high enough for all the subarus I've owned lol, if you included parts cars and everything over the years I'm at 27.

I'm surprised I never posted this.

Up until the new Mercedes GLK250 Bluetec, the Subaru Legacy was (as best I know through pretty extensive research) the only mass-produced car in the world to ever have a twin-turbo 4-cylinder.

Every other twin-turbo car for sale to the public besides these two has had 6 cylinders or more.

That's some interesting info. Although I don't think a twin turbo FD RX-7 counts as having 6 or more cylinders

You know, I was having a nice, peaceful Sunday until you started talking about rotary engines.

*drops mic, walks off stage*

Your car is almsot too black haha. For your pictures anyway

So this picture appears to be taken before your "off-road" drifting excursion

Or maybe after, and I'm just that awesome of a detailer!

Okay, not really. That was the first day I got it. The off-road hoonage took place the next day

Haha, nice!

Did you get any video of the off-road hoonage? Or would that be evidence they could hold against you

Okichi's getting together with family for the holidays...

Maybe its just the pic angle, but new Camrys are Huge. That is a Camry, right?
Anyway, B4 looks great!, especially at night.

That's the 2010-2014 Legacy.....yes it looks exactly like a Camry (fugly) and yes it's huge.

I'm willing to bet they are the most popular Legacy's to date. It seems successful mid size cars need to: A) look like a Camry. B) expand to completely dwarf their original size class. And C) completely abandon the enthusiast niche.

I was 100% sure that was a Camry!

And James614, the Legacy since the 4th gen has always been quoted as looking like a Camry unfortunately.

The 4th Gen didn't really suffer from it IMO. But then again the 4th Gen still had the very un-Camry 2.5GT and wagons. If the current 2.0GT/Touring Wagon came stateside I don't think the Camry sentiment would be nearly as strong.

I was wrong....it is a Camry....but holy crap do they look so similar....it's horrible....I want to vomit!
